College fraternities will make you dumber — and richer

College fraternities will make you dumber — and richer:
"Don’t underestimate the value of social connections in a frat house.
Image result for animal house toga partyBeing a member of a fraternity in college lowers a student GPA by approximately 0.25 points on the traditional four-point scale, but raises future income by around 36%, according to a paper, “Social Animal House: The Economic and Academic Consequences of Fraternity Membership,” published by two economists from Union College in Schenectady, New York.
“For this reason, joining a fraternity may be a rational decision that improves the long-term prospects of an individual student despite its damaging effects on a student’s grades,” the paper concluded.
“These results suggest that fraternity membership causally produces large gains in social capital, which more than outweigh its negative effects on human capital for potential members,” they concluded..."

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Trump’s NFL Protest Comments are why Trump is President: He takes a commonly held…:
"ANALYSIS: TRUE. Trump’s NFL Protest Comments are why Trump is President:
He takes a commonly held sentiment — most people don’t like the NFL protests — and states it in an inflammatory way guaranteed to get everyone’s attention and generate outrage among his critics. When those critics lash back at him, Trump is put in the position of getting attacked for a fairly commonsensical view.

Of course, NFL owners firing players on the spot for protesting isn’t necessarily common sense, but this is where “seriously, not literally” comes in.
There is another option, besides firing a player..."

Prof claims microaggressions disprove notion of 'meritocracy'

Prof claims microaggressions disprove notion of 'meritocracy'
  • An Associate Professor at the University of Rhode Island argues that microaggressions invalidate “meritocracy” and “equal-opportunity” for minorities.
  • The same professor, Annemarie Vaccaro, also recently identified a brand new category of
    microaggression that doesn't even require a person to say or do anything offensive.

    Annemarie Vaccaro, who teaches about higher education, explained in an article published Tuesday that the experience of microaggressions “challenge[s] dominant ideologies of colorblindness, meritocracy, and equal opportunity” surrounding higher education.
    ...She maintains that “meritocracy and equal-opportunity” are ideologies that “ignore the differential treatment…experienced by individual women,” citing “microaggressions” that students of color “must overcome to be successful.”
    Vaccaro, who also invented a brand new category of “invisibility microaggressions” in another article this week, began her research after being approached by a student named Chantel, who “offered to help recruit participants for a study” that would “document pervasive and covert racism at [her college] and convey women’s concerns to the administration.”...

Feds Spend $138,000 Asking Four-Year-Olds About Their 'Internal Sense of Gender Identity'

Feds Spend $138,000 Asking Four-Year-Olds About Their 'Internal Sense of Gender Identity':
Image result for Gender Roles Psychology"The National Science Foundation is spending over $130,000 on a study that asks four-year-olds about their "internal sense of gender identity."
A grant for a two-year study was awarded to the University of Washington this summer.
..."However, tests of these theories have been limited because, for most children, internal gender identity and environmental socialization substantially overlap, rendering it impossible to distinguish the relative impact of each factor on gender development."
The study will investigate whether gender theories, such as Gender Schema Theory that blames society on differences between genders, are sufficient for today's "wider range of human gender experiences," where there can be anywhere between 3, 37, and 58 genders..."
